Hi Joe,

can't agree with you on this one. Immigration is known to be a very important factor in keeping a country from stagnating and for solving it's welfare problems. When countries get an old people bubble, they need new younger blood to come into the country to bolster the countries finances in the form of taxes on labor.

That is why the U.S. has done so well. We have had a steady influx of immigrants. Now immigration has to be handled properly. You have to minimize illegals and you have to ensure taxation occurs and collection rates are high. You have to try your best to get a good mix of immigrants from lot's of different cultures and countries, as well as educational backgrounds and skill levels.

So it is not as simple as opening the borders, but immigration can indeed help solve an aging population and low birth rate problem in a country.
